Uses of Capacitors:
Signal Filtering: In filtering circuits to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Voltage Regulation: In power supply circuits to stabilize voltage and reduce fluctuations.
Temporary Energy Storage: In circuits that need to store energy temporarily.
AC to DC Conversion: In conversion circuits such as power converters.
Capacitors are electronic components used to store electrical energy temporarily. They work by storing charge between two conductive plates separated by an insulating material called the dielectric. When connected to an electrical circuit, a capacitor stores energy on the plates and can discharge the stored charge when needed.
